23-year-old Joe opted to have his left foot amputated after struggling with a rare disease known as Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS). While most would be heartbroken by this difficult decision, Joe has won our hearts with his wonderful attitude about the whole situation.
Before going through with the surgery, though, he decided to have a little fun with his family and friends.
The young man even got a tattoo on the leg that was scheduled for surgery, in the hopes of putting a smile on the surgeon's face.
The tattoo is of dashed lines going all the way around his lower shin with a scissors symbol and the message: "Please cut here."
He was even able to put a few more smiles on people's faces at the hospital. His sister says, "Whenever the nurses came back from getting his medication, he'd put on this beard and say, 'What took you so long? I've been waiting here forever!'"
